Engineering & Design
New approach to real-time optimization using neural networks and fuzzy logic
The main advantages are simpler models and reduced computation time
Jump to the next level of IT productivity
Applying the same ROI requirement for every dollar spent on IT that is used on non-IT spending, management can dramatically turn potentially huge capital drains into great gains
Minimize flaring with flare gas recovery
To reduce facility-wide air emission, a refinery retrofitted the flare system and reuses waste gas as fuel gas
Increase plant productivity through online performance monitoring
The technology can increase production by 1 - 3% and reduce unplanned maintenance costs by 10 - 30%
Consider comprehensive CPD efforts to cut costs
With performance real-time field data, designers can devise process retrofits at the conceptual stage that control project scope and minimize engineering revisions during FEED and detailed engineering
Is regulatory compliance a burden or an opportunity?
Using a proactive approach can reap significant benefits
Refine your approach to process troubleshooting and optimization
Follow this methodology to improve problem diagnosis and communication
Centralized control room operates five process units
The ‘stretch’ thinking of project team members produced an innovative building in just one and a half years
Improve the capital investment decision-making process
A comprehensive workflow methodology and supporting technology framework offer a solid approach to strategically managing assets, before a company invests major resources
